I've noticed that for the last 4 years or so I've been way more negative than positive. I hadn't really thought about what I was posting on an ongoing basis until now.
I think I should come clean.

My wife came down with severe C.O.P.D. a few years ago. That's a heinous lung disease. Bed bound and on O2 ever since. She has seen more of the Sierras than most of you have but that all came to an end.

Week before last she took a fall and broke a leg.

That changed everything. It also gave me a bit of clarity. I've been taking my mourning and depression out on people that I hold near and dear for years.

And some not so dear but undeserving of the scorn that I dished out.

I've pushed away friends and alienated people who've been nothing but good to me. DL you just happened to be there when my world collapsed. That was shitty of me.

My sincerest apologies to all. I am now living vicariously through you guys.

If you have a particular beef with me I'll be at the Expo and we can talk.
